The second root looks pretty accurate on my plot.
Needs["Graphics`ImplicitPlot`"]
ImplicitPlot[{x^2 - y - 1 == 0, 10x Exp[-x] - y == 0}, {x, 1.8, 2.1}, {y, 2,
3.5},
AspectRatio -> 1,
Frame -> True,
Axes -> False];

Hi,
I face root finding problem solving nonlinear equation
I have system nonlinear equation
x^2-y-1 = 0;
10x exp(-x)-y = 0 ;
If you draw the graph you see two intersecting point .
I have found a point [Using FindRoot function ]
In (-0.1,-0.5) the point is (-0.0905897,-0.991794 )---it is OK
But
In (2.0,1.0) the point is (1.94463,2.7816)
But the graph says the x->2.something ,y->1.somthing
I have used same FindRoot function to find the root
in (2.0,1.0 ).
Please help me ASAP .
..
I want(exam)to use other methods(bisection/secant etc).
If any one have workout examples of nonlinear equation
please let me know .
.....
Thank You .
